Here's a link to my blog entry on how I got my Sony Clie to work with
Fedora Core 2.

Situation-
/dev/pilot does not exist
What I am trying to do-
sync palm Vx with Evolution1.4 on fc2
Spec
Palm Vx OS_3.5 after hard reset
Serial cradle connected
Evolution 1.4 never been synced before
What I have tried...after Googling and fedora archive-
1_ originally I thought it was permissions
[root@blue root]# chmod 0666 /dev/pilot
chmod: cannot access `/dev/pilot': No such file or directory
and
[root@blue root]# pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -l
The device /dev/pilot does not exist..
Possible solution:
mknod /dev/pilot c <major> <minor>
Unable to bind to port: /dev/pilot
Please use --help for more information
2_Well, I know ttyS0 and ttyS1 do exist...
[root@blue root]# setserial -g /dev/ttyS[0-4]
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS1, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x02f8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS2, UART: unknown, Port: 0x03e8, IRQ: 4
/dev/ttyS3, UART: unknown, Port: 0x02e8, IRQ: 3
/dev/ttyS4, UART: unknown, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
?Advice please..
Should I make a soft link between ttyS0 and /dev/pilot...?
or something with mknod? I did a man mknod, but do not understand what
should be done.
